CUSHION-SEAT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application tiled January 31, 1916. Serial No. 75,423.

To aZZiow/m it may concern:

Ieiit known that I, WILLIAM D. MOCHIL-v LoUen. a citizen of the United VStates of America, residing at Detroit, 1n the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cushion-Seats, of which the following is a specification, Vreference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates-to cushion seats for vehicles an'd has more particular reference to the means for securing the skirt of the cushion to the spring frame.

In the drawings:

Figure l1 is a` perspective view of the seat with the cushion attached tothe frame;

Fig. 2 is a vertical section showing the skirt and the initial operation of securing the same to the spring frame.;

Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the seeond step in the operation; n

Fig. 4l is a sectional perspective view showing the fastening completed; and

Fig. 5 is an elevation thereof.

A is the cushion and B is the depending skirt therefor which'incloscs the supporting spring frame C. It is desirable to provide means for quickly securing this depending skirt to said spring frame so that it may be detached when desired, and to this end I have devised the following construc-` tion: D is a metallic strip secured to the" lower edge of the skirt and extending around vals 'with slots IC therein which are alined with the lower bar F of the frame C. G are bifurcated clips for embracing the bar F and insertion throughthe slots El from the inner side of the skirt. These'clips may be engagedas shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 1, and after thev hifurcated prongs are pressed through the slots they are turnedv over as shown in Figs. ILand 5. These prongs are also fashioned so that the bent-over portion This strip is provided at interis semi-circular and the two portions to' gether produce the appearance of a button.

lVith the construction as described, the skirt may be readily attached to or detached'from the frame C and without injury thereto.

What I claim as my invention is z- 1. The combination with a cushion of a depending skirt therefor, a spring trame'for supporting said cushion having an edge bar adjacent said skirt, and bifurcated clips for embracing said edge bar insertible through said skirtffrom the insiigle thereof and adapted to be clenched thereover.

Q, The combination with a cushion and a depending skirt therefrom, of a spring frame for supporting said cushion having an edge bar adjacent to said skirt, a slotted rein forcement for said skirt adjacent to Said bar, and a bifurcated clip for embracing said bar insertible through the slot of said reinforcement and adapted to be clenched outsideof the skirt.

3. The combination with a cushion and a depending skirt therefor, of a spring frame for supporting said cushion having an edge bar adjacent to said skirt, a marginal reinforcing bar secured to said skirt and pro-f vided with slots at intervals registering with said edge bar, and clips for embracing said edge bar insertble through said slots and adapted to be clenched outside of the skirt.

4. The combination with a cushion of a depending skirt therefor, a skirt frame secured toand surrounding the lower edge of said skirt, being provided with slots at intervals, a spring frame inclosed by sai fskrt having an edge bar alined with the slots in said skirt frame, and clips for 'embrading said edge bar insertible through the slots in said skirt :tramev and adapted to be clenched over the same.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.

WILLIAM D. MCCULLOUGH.
